Tahoe weekend, part 2

Poor Wenda, she setup the entire ski trip and couldn’t go. Although I haven’t met her, I do feel for her. I don’t know the exact details, but apparently she had something on her ass cheek that somehow got infected. She had to go to the doctor where they gave her a shot of novacaine by a lancer (fancy name for a xacto knife) and dug in ½” to take out whatever was in there. Poor girl said it hurt so bad even with the shot, that her legs were shaking, got teary eyed, and broke out in hives. Then they stuffed the newly formed hole with so much gauze, she felt a teddy bear in a stuffing machine. She had to go back again later on for them to take out even more stuff. She had to lay on her stomach like beefcake Cartman all day, and probably for a few more days.

As B and I drove up to tahoe, I find out that B knows Will through, (surprise, surprise) the pageants. Usually if my friend Will knows a girl, there’s a good chance it’s because it’s through the pageants. And I find out that B knows my ex-gf through the pageants. That’s why she looked kinda familiar. I saw her picture on friendster through my ex-gf! She also knew my ex-gf through my ex’s association with Drink Club, a event promotions organization where they throw asian parties at various clubs in SF. That’s because B was dating one of the DJ’s that they and Element (another asian party promotion organization) use. B also knows Erin, one of the guys that works at Element and Natalie his gf at the time, and Natalie’s best friend, Martha. Ok, are you guys with me so far? If not, better start diagramming now. So I know my friend Andy from working at Whole Earth Access in SF a long time ago. I know Will from my days working at Computown. One night, Will and a bunch of people went clubbing, and I invited Andy along. Little did I know that Andy and Will went to high school together and knew each other already. That night, Andy met one of Will’s friend’s Julie, and turned into a relationship that lasted a couple of years. Some of Julie’s best friends was Martha and Natalie. After they broke up, Martha and Natalie stayed friends with Andy (hey, he’s such a good guy) and I got to know Martha and Natalie after a while and became really good friends. In fact, Andy, Martha, Natalie and I used to go clubbing together almost every weekend for a year. And during one of these clubbing nights, is when I met Karen. So I go out on a couple of dates with Karen, and I meet up with Andy and Will for Martha’s birthday. I was telling Andy about Karen when I find out Will knows Karen from the pageants. Later on Andy started doing the pageant escorting, and B was still helping out with pageants, and that’s how B knows Andy. Are we thoroughly confused yet? I think I’ll stop with the friend association because I’ll confuse even myself soon.

So as B and I talk in the car, she keeps raving about the good food places in Sacramento. Huh? Sacramento? Well I guess? And she was raving about this one place that has really great salmon salad called Urban Jack’s. I was intrigued because she made it sound really good. So as we drove back down from Tahoe, we decided that we’re gonna stop in Sacramento and I’ll see if the salmon salad was all that. Wow, let me tell you that was some good salmon salad. Freshly tossed salad with Salmon with some sort of sweet delicious glaze and grapefruit and some sort of vinagarette. I never knew Sacramento had such good food! And it wasn’t very expensive either. I’m definitely not dismissing B’s food advice any time soon. My drive to and back from Tahoe was a whole lot shorter because B and I chatted almost the entire way.
